Profile

MENA LEGAL™ was founded by Dr. Alexander Brexendorff, a German lawyer, business consultant and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in advising international companies for their investments in Europe, and the Middle East. MENA LEGAL™ now incorporates members and experts from Europe, the MENA region, the United States and Asia all of whom bring with them considerable regional experience in cross-border transactions.

The development of the service portfolios of the members of MENA LEGAL™ has coincided with increasing commercial interest in the MENA region, specifically in the context of Dubai’s rapid rise as a global center of finance and trade, the region’s Oil & Gas sector, as well as the significant rebuilding opportunities present in countries such Libya.

The practice of our members is designed to address the needs of inbound foreign investors doing business in an environment where the laws, customs and business conditions are often significantly dissimilar from those experienced at home. To this end, it is important to rely not only on legal expertise but also on an in-depth knowledge of the local business cultures and customs present in the various regions our members are based. Our members support clients with a business and result-orientated approach tailored to a client’s individual needs, from the initial planning phase to the completion of the transaction.
